“This wouldn’t have happened without all of you donors, without all of you veterinary clinics and people who work in them,” said Jean Berlowitz, Animal Companions of Las Cruces board member. “We thank everybody and we are so excited to welcome all these wonderful new vets to Las Cruces.”
The program also supported three veterinary students this summer through externships at local practices: Maria Carr and Chloe Santos at Calista Animal Hospital and Annalise Guy at Schumacher Veterinary Clinic.
